Hi,

It's been such a long time since I posted here, Does anyone have any expertise fixing mega cd's?

I recently got one from a car booty but it wont power on, I've found several guides on google for mega cd but nuffin for the model 1.

I haven't opened it up yet but some pictures of where to locate the fuse and what fuse to use would be really helpfull.

I really want to get it working so I can burn a copy snatcher games looks amazing

Get the specs of the fuse.
I don't own one myself, but I would think they would use the same fuse, so it doesn't make that much of a difference between a model 1 or 2.

My MCD1 wouldn't power on when I got it, but the fuse was fine. Turns out that a couple of pins in my MD cart slot were touching if no carts were inserted. You could test this by putting a bit of cardboard into your MD cart connector and then try the MCD.

If it works then you might be able to visually see the pins that are touching each other and force them away from each other (but not too much, or your carts won't work)
